The thing which really gets me is that he didn't kill the lion outright, quick and clean - no, he fires an arrow at it, wounds it and the poor beast then goes through days of agony, and even at the end it is killed using a shotgun.

A lion is a large, muscular animal, it needs some serious hardware to dispatch it properly - which obviously this guy did not have.

The man is a fool, and either stupid or sadistic.

By killing a lion with a pride he will have opened the way for a male of lower quality to take over and kill the cubs.

He should be found and sent to face justice in court along with those who assisted in the torture and killing of a national treasure.
